Do you want games in the library?

This collection could include:
Video Games

Role Playing Games
...And More!
Did you know that the University of Iowa is one of only six academic libraries in the Big 10 (out of 18!) that do not have a circulating games collection of any kind? The majority of our peers have games available to their students and campus partners, and we believe we should too! If you feel the same way, please let us know and share this survey with anyone interested--the more responses we get, the better we can advocate for starting this collection!
